14 things you should NEVER DO in Italy 

Let me know if you guys enjoyed this 😌

“Italians almost never get drunk” *laughs in venetian*

"la colazione all'italiana è di solito un cappuccino e una brioche" SI, QUELLA DA BAR, ma diciamolo tutti insieme qual è la vera colazione italiana: LATTE (CON NESQUIK O MENO) E GOCCIOLE/PAN DI STELLE, ohhh

I'm italian and I work in a bar. One day a tourist asked me one latte... And yes, I gave her a glass of milk.

nel 1500 abbiamo messo le mutande ai francesi e insegnato a usare la forchetta, bisogna proseguire insegnando agli americani a mangiare bene aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Did you know? Every time someone puts cheese on fish an Italian dies

la sua risata mi spacca😂🤧

Colazione al bar: brioche e cappuccino Colazione a casa: latte e biscotti.

You can order a cappuccino in the afternoon with some cookies. What is forbidden is to have a cappuccino during lunch or dinner

“Italian don’t get grunk” please. PLEASE.

"they almost never get drunk"??? man ask it to my uncle Gastone if he get drunk, he'll try to answer

Pizza is different also because outside of italy it often comes from chains like pizzahut or domino's and it is junk food, while in italy it's usually healthier

Bro I think you are my favorite RU-vidr💪💪💪greatings from Italy🇮🇹

As an Italian I can say that the worst of all is putting ketchup on a pizza, that should be punishable by law 😁

The secret of our small breakfast is ... that we simply make two: another mid-morning one between 10 and 11.

Io sono Italiana e il cappuccino a volte lo prendo pure a merenda... LOL

We Italians don't get drunk? Me at the end of a wedding near Venice: the aunt of my father (80yo) in front of me told me, "I never seen anybody drink so much water like you". Than I took a look to the rest of the bottles on the table, the only one opened was mine...

I'm italian ad I order cappuccino even in the afternoon, nobody ever looked at me in a weird way nor said something to me. If I want to drink cappuccino at 5pm, let me just do it! I pay you, after all 🤣 PS: the guy is obviously italian, but I think the girl is from another country and she has lived in Italy for a very long time

Dove sono gli italiani ?🙋🏽‍♀️ perché guardò video stranieri sull’Italia

You know what is REALLY forbidden? Pineapple on pizza

Come to Marche or Veneto and you will see that we italians can be drunk

I m Italian but sometimes I order a cappuccino in the evening like at the seven p.m, when it' s cold outside . And it isn't so strange. And guys... People of my age from18 to 26 years old drink a lot with friends we aren't so moderate ahahahahahaha

The ketchup on the pasta or on the pizza is something of horror, that's true man

Your laugh is amazing 😂 I just couldn't not laugh when you started laughing

I am Italian and thise rule aee perfect of the Italian tradition especially the rule: no parmigiano on the fish in Italy is a capital sin

We drink a lot as well, trust me, we can drink af, we just dont drink so much on a daily basis maybe? But in the north we drink more that in the south, especially veneto and friuli

‘’I never seen like an italian get drunk’’ me: 🙂 ANYWAY SOO

Seriously I've never thought on where cheek to kiss first, but on second thought it's always the right cheek. And regarding on sharing pizza we always decide before it comes, if it will be a personal pizza or a big pizza to share (we call it "a metro").

It's not that we /never/ get drunk, but like here it's pretty common to start drinking very young (like 14 years old), so you have all your crazy years of getting shit faced drunk and all that stuff as you are a teenager, and once you get in your twenties you start to calm down and don't see the appeal to get very drunk anymore -and also everyone has a high tolerance of alchol at that point so you would need a lot of it to get properly drunk

Actually ask for tap water was normal until early 2000s, don't know what happened after, but I clearly remember that in the 90s I could walk into cafe, ask for a glass of tap water, use the toilet and then simply leave

Non è che l'acqua del rubinetto è acqua sporca, ma sai com'è, se sei un ristorante, almeno l'acqua in bottiglia buona dai ....

Am I the only Italian who doesn't freak out about the cappuccino in the afternoon?

The tap water is actually perfectly drinkably and follows strict standards, but we still don't like to drink it we're just think it's not as good (the water is drinkable but then it might taste a little different based on like the plumbing and we don't like that). At home we do drink it but we have special filter jugs that we always use. As for the pizza it is acceptable to have a slice of your friend's pizza if you want to try it as long as ordered pizza too and give a slice of your own back :)

I'm an italian waitress and after lunch tourists customers ask me cappuccino...so, i think it is weird, but i don't laugh in their face 🤔

12:07 i’ m italian and this hurt me the most.

Very funny 😂 "hi to everyone" from south Italy

Non si ubriacano quasi mai cazzata del secolo dillo ai nonneti fuori dai bar ahahaha/do not get drunk almost, bullshit of the century, tell granny outside the bars

Maestri della moderazione... E POI C’È IL MOVIMENTO 5 LITRI

One of the funniest things is knowing that it's been seen by so many Italians

Nessuno ti dirà mai niente, se prendi un cappuccino alle 2 P.M. in un bar. Il bar è una caffetteria, sono li apposta per fare i cappuccini, tutto il giorno. Un'altro discorso, cosa totalmente differente, è ordinare un cappuccino al ristorante finito di mangiare. Questo non si fa.

K-Ketchup on pizza? LIKE EXCUSE ME WHAT-

this dude laughing made my day Thank you Nyal

First, it's not tue that breakfast is only sweet, in fact, in every cafe you can find a lot of savoury croissants or something else to have a savoury breakfast ( I don't like sweet breakfast). Second, in the north Italy is difficult that you kiss on the cheeks (to greet) someone who don't know very well.

Now, guys, I'm italian, and yeah it's true that we never eat while we're walking, but it's false that we also don't drink, while we walk, we drink without problems, coca cola, fanta, or others; the only think we never drink while we're walking is coffee.

You are sooo joyfull! Fun video! But in italy we have street food too, we eat olso on the street some times🥰

Pensavo scontato che la pizza non si condividesse, pura eresia

Mamma mia 🤣🤣🤣sono morta 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ma fino ad ora pensavo che baciare le persone per salutarsi si facesse in tutto il mondo🤣🤣🤣sarebbe troppo strano non farlo più... Ahahahah comunque grandissimo mi hai fatto spaccare dalle risate🤣🤣🤣Ciauuuu

Number 5. I beg you, DON'T DO IT. It kills the taste of the fish. It's like putting a Muscle car engine in a small Japanese subcompact car. I had almost a heart attack seeing an American dude covering his carbonara with a lot of pepper, in Ravenna. I told to him that he must not do that, it seemed an hostage crisis, in TV thrillers, ahah. The hostage was the carbonara, obviously. Harmonize the flavours,, this is our rule.

As an Italian I would like to dispel the myth according to which ordering a cappuccino in the afternoon is prohibited. It's not true, even if it's not usual, many Italians do it too. What you shouldn't do is order a cappuccino during your meal. In that case it may happen that a waiter refuses to prepare it, but only because he knows that the tourist would then feel sick to his stomach. Tourists never consider that in Mediterranean countries the cuisine is very different, especially in terms of condiments: ordering a glass containing a lot of milk (a simple latte would be different because in that case the quantity of milk is minimal) after eating foods containing onions, garlic, lemon, vinegar... it's the best recipe for feeling sick and shitting your pants :) if a waiter refuses to serve you, he does it for your own good... and to avoid stupid reviews like "they serve expired food and I was bad".

il Cappuccino puoi ordinarlo sempre. Questa cosa qui non è vera.

Actually spritz with pizza or other steet food... I do it sometimes... and I regularly drink prosecco with many many dishes.

IN ITALY WE LITERALLY LOVE YOU

I remeber having a coffee with an american friend in a cafe. She took well the classic american coffee which is a very big big cup for us and she enjoyed to talk a lot while having this big cup and in the meanwhile I ordered like three or four normal italian coffee to stay with her talking. In the end she asked me "But why did you take the american one, it's like your four coffes together!" Problem is: american coffee it's very light, so to follow her I didn't sleep that night because of pressure ahah And to be honest I LOVE the intercontinental breakfast, which is how italians call the english breakfast with eggs and becon and toast. But normally I enjoy it as a treat in Saturdays or Sundays :D I have to say tho, as an italian and a napolitan, the point about the pizza is not really true. It's true that buy one pizza for a group it's a little strange and usually we buy more pizzas with different flavors to share, but it's possible to share :) The real truth it's we like to eat, so one pizza shared it's not enough for us! About ketchup... I saw people cook past with eat, disgusting :D About drinks... I think that the reality is: italians, but in general europeans, start to drink earlier than americans so they are capable to be sober and resist more. But in formal situation italians usually don't like to lose too much control, is not really elegant. Then it's depend: if it's wine, italians like to enjoy it a lot and taste the flavour, generally they don't get drank with it (unless is a student party, the rules don't apply there :D) About the kiss on the cheek ahahah I don't know ho many foreigners I've kissed because we start from the "wrong" side. Especially in France! And we kiss A LOT.

Actually: 1) yes 2) yes 3) nope, Italians often have Capuccino in the afternoon, we just hate when you drink it while having lunch/dinner. That’s sacrilege. 4) true that we prefer our breakfast to be sweet but there’s a lot of places that sells salty food for breakfast, it also depends on the city you’re visiting. Surely not eggs and bacon dude. 5) ABSOLUTELY YES,If you ask for cheese you will be insulted a lot. They’re right tho. 6) that’s bullshit. Cocktails while having a meal it’s very common, there’s a lot of restaurants that combine cocktails with their dishes. And since we’re fans of the “aperitivo” it’s very common that you stay for dinner too. We prefer to have a glass of wine with it but many people will having spritz or cocktails as well. 7)it’s not true that you can’t drink tap water and it’s not true that restaurant won’t give it to you for free, it’s just rude that you go to a restaurant /bar order a tap water,use the toilet and just leave. ( specially without asking or saying hi) If the restaurant won’t serve it to you it’s cause of laws of hygiene do not allow it ( even if 99% of the time the tap water is very safe and clean ) but it’s more likely that they won’t give it to you cause often people go to restaurant,order tap water,sit for hours and then leave. 8) true. 9) half yes half no. True that we prefer to relax with friends while eating and surely we have a lot of respect in the whole dining process but it’s also true that we have plenty of street food and markets, specially in the south. 10)we don’t share a normal size pizza but we have large or metro pizza for that purpose. 11)yes that’s just orrible. 12) the truest truth of truest truth. SHAME ON YOU. 13) LMFAO WHAT?!Who told you?? We put alchool in everything. 14) just wanted to points out that kissing the cheeks it’s something we do only with close friends cause people around the world really thinks we do this with everyone and all the time lmfao

I recommend pasta grammar, their videos are hilarious!

3:09 L'ha rubato Ciro (inizia la tarantella napoletana) Translation: Ciro stole it (the Neapolitan tarantella begins)

We share the thick pizza when we buy a whole one (6 to 8 slices). And we sometimes get drunk 🤣🤣🤣

You laugh is contagious!! 😂😂 Ciao from Sicily.

The true Italian breakfast is an espresso and a cigarette

React to zitti e buoni has win the festival of the music italin pls

Me Italian😂😂 I love his laugh omg

Hilarious, but absolutely true.

Se un cameriere ti ride in faccia per un cappuccino allora è uno che non sa fare il suo lavoro. Il cliente che paga ha sempre ragione. If a waiter laughs at you for a cappuccino then he is one who does not know how to do his job. The paying customer is always right.

Tap water is ok at the Bar. They give it to you free if you ask for it. Usually italians doesn't ask for it.

Bro your videos have only one flaw, they end ahahhaha I miss your music reaction btw

In Italy, you have to watch out for little mice. They are full of them, some have alcohol problems. Once, when I was in Italy, I met a little mouse who asked me for a piece of cheese. I didn't have any cheese, so we started drinking vodka. The mouse complained that Italians often did not look at their feet and trample little mice. About the fact that fewer and fewer crumbs are lying on the streets and the little mice are starving.

Don't agree on lot of things First of all, u can eat and drink while walking... it's not easy eating a pizza (of a single slice) while walking but whatever lol U can order a Cappuccino whenever u want to. If it's on their menù, u can order it. We don't usually share pizza coz we decide it beforehand if we want to share it. Italian pizza is not as big as American one, for example. U can order a bigger one ("a metro", as another viewer said) but u have to say it clearly, otherwise u will implicitly order a pizza for a single person. U can put ketchup and mayo on pizza. We rlly don't like it on Margherita and other pizzas with tomato sauce BUT u can use it on pizzas like chips n kebab or stuff like that. Also come with fish n cheese. Using cheese with spaghetti AND fish is kinda strange for us but nobody will tell you "yo bro, don't eat that tuna with some cheese cream, it's prohibited !!!" coz also some restaurant prepare that kind of dishes Last but not least, Italian never get drunk. Yeah, sure. We don't use alcohol. There're only like, idk, thousand bar that sells shot or birra at like 2 euro each and in big cities like Rome and specially Naples u can see at night, in particular from Friday to Sunday , a lot o drunken teens or men

I appreciate you very much because you are a sunny and very nice person .. smile often and put a good mood .. thanks for this .. I am an Italian who has lived in northern Europe and in some Arab country. By now I no longer follow all the rules described in the video .. When I return to Italy and I am a guest of my mother and she sees me eating sweet and sour, drinking cappuccino even in the afternoon and together with pizza, well. . she tells me I'm strange (and that's the same reaction from my friends too) .. I have a lot of fun learning from all cultures ... I will continue to enjoy your every video .. you are cool !!

At least in tuscany,especially if someone needs energy, after the work,it is quite common to ask for a cofee at the sixteen when someone has a meal called merenda, usually with a cornetto (croissant). Another very important thing: every wine has its name,,there is a red or a white type,no both. If you want some hints,and you still want,maybe,a white Brunello(it is only a red wine) you can ask: "i want a good white wine from the surroundings of Montalcino(the place where Brunello is produced),what do you suggest me?" Ps:i have not mentioned the vin santo,to be short is a sweet wine.

We became more flexible about cappuccino. I'm italian, I love capuccino and I can order it at any time without surprising the barman. The only "sin" could be ordering cappuccino while eating.

mi hai fatto morire con sto video, non possono non mettere un like

Noooo il ketchup sulla pizza e l'ananas sulla pizza sono inguardabili mi sento maleeeeeee

lui: metto il ketchup e la maionese sulla pizza io: vade retro satana

You can order cappuccino in the afternoon. No problem at all.

5:28 scusami???? Mi prendi in giro? IL PARMIGIANO SUL PESCE??? Traduction: (Angery in Italian)

Omg I'm in love with your accent!!!! Where are you from??? Ps. I'm italian and I confirm everything that's said in the video....and I'm from Napoli, so PLEASE do NOT put ketchup on pizza. It's a holy thing, RESPECT!

The only inaccurate thing is the one about getting drunk...WE DRINK...A LOT

When I’m alone and nobody is watching I put parmigiano in pasta with fish. I feel guilty and less Italian but I love 😇

I clicked on the video pretty much ready to complain and be picky but I laughed all the time. :-) Very funny reaction, you made the video funnier. :-) BTW, everything is pretty much appropriate, maybe not everything so "strict", but pretty much true. :-)

Love from Italy 🇮🇹❤️. You should react to "Garbage Evilution". It's a nitro music album released in February

You can also have a zabaglione for breakfast or a poached egg...if you are at home also milk and bread, or with biscuit or cereals... you don't necessarly have to go to a bar...that' maily for working people or to have a break.

Nobody in Italy says anything If you ask for a cappuccino at whatever time.If a waiter says something on this point he is just rude. You must know that we do not play mandoline and we do not eat pizza every day. I know this is a cultural shock, I know, but you must know it

Me, an italian girl... I drink a cappuccino whenever suits me.... Anyway, you must react to a video about our Hands gesture.

12:17 dude, why, why, YOU LITTLE PIECE OF (Italian gibberish intensafies)

Ahahahaha ho appena scoperto questo video e ne vado fiero,fantastico

Many of the things you described in the video are not forbidden, but unusual. Do not be afraid to provide laughter, the Italians are nice and easy going (especially the exhibitors), they are having fun with you. There are no strict rules, only one I would like to say: In church you cannot dress as you please, women must be covered (shoulders and neckline) otherwise they will not let you in, you could cause serious embarrassment ( I do not agree with this silly rule )

Guys trust me, don't take a slice of your friend's pizza

10:14 pure il mandolino,classico stereotipo.strumento godibile in altri contesti,e scusate se lo dico.

You laughing is so contagious! Love it. Fantastico D

Tap water it's actually good here, (there are very few exception which I will discuss later) it's just a misconception that we don't give tap water because it's bad, we offer bottled water because of etiquette, even in my very home, my mother give bottled water when people come visiting while we drink our tap water in a normal meal. the exception is a few rural places where water is polluted, and the water in the hotel room, especially on the higher floors, our buildings are often older than the history of america and we joke around saying that the water pipes are even older. ( obviously it doesn't apply to everyone, but better safe than sorry no ? ...) ps sorry if I butchered english, as you can see I am italian lol

I felt so confused at 3:08, like, how’s that too little?? I’m from Spain and, when you ask for a coffee, you also get this little cup :’)

It's all true except for a couple of things: - Italians don't get drunk. What?! Italian DO get drunk with wine, beer or alcoholics like grappa and others, and they often like to get drunk. Alcoholism is a serious problem in Italy, especially in northern Italy, and in the last 20 years it involves young people, while until 20 years ago usually only adult and older people used to drink excessively, today even teenagers start to drink alcohol. A lot of deadly car accidents is caused by excess of alcoholics. - If you order a CAPPUCCINO after noon you'll be normally served, it's normal and no waiter will be surprised or notice something strange, provided you order only this; if you order a cappuccino or american coffee at the end of a meal or pizza it's very strange and it's considered a weird thing that only strangers do. You must order an "espresso". ⚠️IMPORTANT ADVICE: NEVER NEVER EVER PUT CHEESE OR PARMESAN ON SEAFOOD OR KETCHUP ON PIZZA! 🚫🚫🚫 IT'S LIKE TO POUR MILK IN A GLASS OF BEER FOR AN ENGLISH OR GERMAN. IF YOU WANT DO THIS, PLEASE DO IT IN YOUR COUNTRY. GRAZIE. Greetings from Italy. Ciao!

Probabilmente sono l'unico italiano che probabilmente prende il cappucino al bar alle 6 di sera🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ciao, ti scrivo dall'Italia. Now I'm going to speak in english, so you can understand me. I'm sorry for my bad use of language. I really appreciate this video, you are awsome, very funny and happy, I do love this reaction. Cheers, see you soon

actually when they say about cappuccino it's a breakfast thing it's wrong, at 4 pm I drink a cappuccino at the bar and they don't tell me anything

This is so extreme ahahaha! Of corse u can take a cappuccino whenever u want 🤣🤣 We never get drunk? BULLSHIT🤣🤣

As a italian, i confirme that our pistols can shoot again , the lesson? NEVER PUT ANANAS ON PIZZA AGAIN

You always have to remember that the Italians get MAD on food experiments. Other things are less important than food.

I can confirm that exist also bar with some salad foods :)

l'Italia è fatta di tante regioni, provincie e perciò di tante tradizione e culture differenti.. io, a Novara, il cappuccino lo prendo in qualsiasi orario della giornata ;) in centro e sud Italia sono molto diversi dal nord Italia
